Dump Trucking it With Jonathan in Collegedale

[collectors83]

i would kick u in the face if u shift like that on my truck

[jlcyamaha]

i havent driven a big rig. but i imagine its like floating gears in a car just way less forgiving because they dont have constant mesh transmitions. but i was taught to pass peak power and you feel it, then pull it into nuetral as you back of the gas, aply pressure to the next gear and then let the engine and road speed match up and it slips into gear

[sbeer6er]

ha ha ha ha ha ha, don't we all forget our first times.

I drive a Sterling LT9511 Tri-Axle with an Eaton Fuller 8LL transmission. I mainly haul blacktop and stone for the construction company I work for. I have to say for someone that doesn't have a lot of experience, you didn't do to bad a job. Just give it time. Eventually, you will learn to feel the gears out and at that point, shifting is a breeze, regardless of wither you are going up or down in gears.

take it easy on er dont listen to that idiot "shifting agrressively" trucks are nothing but big babies and need to be a treated as such..jamming it in gear will get you nothing but a roasted transmission. however..for someone who dosent have a CDL obviously has little to no expeirience driving a truck...i give you credit for trying..because most people wouldnt have made it off the lot. good effort and keep working on it :)

[christophedepau1]

good video -)))

[born2flyau]

Glad that is not my truck you are driving. Glad those gears are in a box or they would be spread for miles down the road. There is a definite nack to driving a roadranger and you need to get someone to show you the correct technique. I had similar problems when i first started driving one, especially when they throw you in and hope you can learn to swim.

[creamyfilling102]

they're getting manure for their garden? that's a big ass load of manure.

[jomacbub]

I know that the vid is old, but I noticed that you had one mud flap missing on the right side, My truck had the same issue, I had to take it in for its C.O.F and it didn't pass..the laws in NZ sucks

[sighail1]

the low range to hi range. move the lever before you shift.

[drtera2000]

[drtera2000]

[cat336BL]

this guy should not drive truck

[TractorTrailerAndrew]

is this guy trying to float em? LOL rofl leave driving to us pros please lol

[Newfieguy89]

It's all sound and feel. You will get used to the sound of the engine and you will just know what gear to be in. Same with shifting. You will feel the trucks speed...she'll tell you to shift. Not to bad for a guy that is not a normal driver. Keep practising, you'll get it!

[plasticjesus108]

If you moved the seat up a little you'd be able to push the clutch in all the way and not have to grind your gears into metal filings... And you also wouldn;t have to hunch over to steer it either.

[JamesCameron1]

Learn to drive..... how embarrassing

[domonic0]

u need to shift more aggressive remember itz a truck not a car come to jamaica an try driving like us if u cant come to jamaica look at jamaican drivers on youtube when u enter that look for (one of those days) itz almost at the bottom of the page

[domonic0]

u need to put the gears in more aggressively ma uncle iz a trucker in jamaica an he teaches me how to stop the truck with out brakes the truck is loaded. i didnt grind so much gears as u i only grind like 6 gears u shift like a girl still be more aggressive an slam the gears in not to be cocky but the roads u guyz drive on iz easy if u dont belive me look on this

[alexfo7o]

Is the clutch brake engaged?

[12v71jimmy]

do u have a licence to drive that truck

[esp90s]

Now I know the difference between an operator and a driver of a heavy equipment. It makes the other people around you feel oh so safe while you try to learn.

[michaelmiller85]

This is an 8 spd with Low Gear

[studpuppy69]

In Florida you are exempt from having a CDL if you are using a truck for agricultural purposes within a certain radius of your farm. Looks like the case here, a little scary, I hope at least one of the two people are qualified to drive the truck. Not knowing wheather to build up more air pressure is a sign right there. I'm still a rookie driver with minimal experience, I never kept trying to shove it in. Is that an 8 speed?

[killer2600]

Same in Michigan although you need a "F" - Farmers endorsement on your license.

That downshifting was terrible, if you don't know the trans/vehicle you should be downshifting as you slow down NOT slowing down and then trying to find a gear

[studpuppy69]

That's what I did, I got to a 1,000 it was time to down shift. I also wrote down and studied, most 10 speeds 20 mph = 6th gear, 25 = 7, you have to find your own way every truck is different, best way to learn ifyour new. 1:36 NO! On any 10 speed I know just coasting between 1-5 just tap the gas pedal slightly and it will drop in from 5-4-3-2-1, you can go 5-3 without the clutch. At idle speeds rolling with the clutch in it grinds, 7 seconds of grinding at 2:15 sure way to get into an accident!

[Peterbiltpro]

grindem till you find em, thats how I learned any, Its funner when your a rookie driver

[fisherplowguy]

i understand were all new at some point in our driving careers but damn it hurts just to even listen. Keep practicing driver just stay away from my truck for the time being

[JT872]

Is that a FL112

[Buckshot3715]

Yeah, It looks like an FL112

[JT872]

Is that a FL80

[themillerguy]

I must say, that driver has got serious talent. did he go to hieby's professional driving school? immaculate shifting ability

[po90000]

seriously??.. I can hear him grinding gears all the time xD.. hope you were joking

[Buckshot3715]

Pretty good driving there. You guys did a good job!

[trikmitruk]

taking a dump truck down a jeep trail hoo rah.downshifting use lower rpm most people tend to over rev.good video,good job guys.
